Survey of St Mary the Virgin
  1. Introduction: The Aim of this exercise is to create a detailed survey of the graveyard and church. To capture all the graves and their attribute data in order to produce a detailed map.
    1. Equipment
      1. Leica 1200 LTK GPS

It has also highlighted issues such as planning, checking equipment and also consideration about he type of data available for use. Most importantly, it has reiterated the different methods of collecting data, which is not only limited to GPS equipment but others that make this types of surveying exercise a success.
